Lawyer Dan Ujczo Quoted in the Canadian Lawyer Article, “China Factor Looms Large as Trade Wars Heat Up”

Columbus Lawyer Dan Ujczo was quoted in the Canadian Lawyer article, “China Factor Looms Large as Trade Wars Heat Up”.

The article discusses how the recent tariffs on Canadian goods by the United States could potentially impact the relationships between the U.S., Canada and China in midst of the current renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

“The president has put these tariffs on, hopefully, in an effort to mobilize collective action on China, but we just haven't seen the willingness of the EU, Canada [and] Mexico to tackle this issue in any meaningful way up until very recently,” says Ujczo.

When the issue goes before the WTO, Ujczo says, the U.S. will argue that Canada “has been a backdoor to China” and that the U.S.’s low steel-producing capacity has had real national security consequences.

The fact that underproduction of steel in the U.S. arguably denies them the ability to produce material needed for war will be an argument the U.S. uses to justify the tariffs, Ujczo says.
